I can understand a person not liking Gran Torino but putting it on an all time worst movie list shows how little you know about what a truly bad movie is.

I tend to avoid bad movies altogether - you won't catch me watching Ender's Game, for example. I generally follow the critics with my movie selection so anything that's truly awful I won't watch, period. The exceptions are movies I was dragged to along with buddies (Resident Evil, Sucker Punch).
This thread is Top 5 movies you've ever seen...I could give you every Adam Sandler movie made over the last decade and they're worse than Gran Torino, but I couldn't be bothered to watch them. If that makes it so that I'm not an "expert" on bad movies then I'm pretty ok with that.
For me, for a movie that was so well acclaimed, GT was just so obviously lacking. Laughable dialogue and obviously the acting as mentioned, was awful. I love Clint Eastwood, but if anyone else had directed that film I think the critics would have been a lot harder on it.
